How to link 2 Pc's?

ninjawoot · 09 Sep 2009

Ok i got a problem at home,actually me and my bro have it.
Wer playing one online game,where we kill bosses and stuff like that,but we would like to capture them on video via fraps.
Now the problem is that none of us have so strong Pc's to run fraps and play with atleast avarange FPS.(its unplayible)
So we come with a idea,while his playing on his Pc,ill fraps his game over my Pc,now theres the problem.
We dont know how to do it

So the main idea is for him to play and i over my pc to fraps,now is that somehow possible?

i don't think there is a way.

and if there is, it'll be a nightmare, and will probably consume as many resources as just running fraps would.

i could be wrong, maybe i hope i am - anyone else have any non-nightmarish ideas?

oh, nearly forgot to ask, what game is it?

Good idea, but I'm unaware of any apps that are going to let you record remote video with any decent framerate over a network involving limited resources (CPUs as you say.) I never used frapps, but I'm guessing that it doesn't have a remote capture function.

If you can enter the game as a spectator, you should have a very light load and can record him, the key is, you have to get on the server while not playing. I don't know if it is possible.

Hook the video output to a VCR...?

while a heavy gamer a few years ago this was a project of my team. We used FRAPS and one person was a spectator but we had to use a cheat to do it, while being on a private server this didn't matter I don't think WoW will allow it and from what I know of that game there is no spectator mode.

he could try something like teamviewer which is a remote control app that should allow him to watch the other PC and use something besides fraps to record what he see's, as fraps is an in game only apps.

for best results you want the person recording with the "strongest" computer, if possible find a friend with a gaming rig to help, it took 6 people to get 3 minutes of usable footage over 4 hours and all of us had "gaming" rigs with the highest specs for that time. this sounds like an easy project but when it comes down to it its a tech nightmare in truth.
